Television Memories
by Courtney Richardson
From the car to garage,
From garage to house
From house to the couch
In front of the TV
I sit and ponder
The days gone by,
Blending one to another,
Melding to a blur.
Once was the day
When children would
Play and romp
Outside in the sun.
Now is the day
When children sit
And stare at colored
Screens before them.
Where are the flowers,
The trees and the dirt,
The scrapes and bumps,
Jump-ropes and swings?
Instead, are computers,
Xbox and Playstations,
Game-boys and Wiis,
PSPs and Nintendo DS
The flowers and plain toys
Have gone to silver screens
Where children may watch,
But never may touch.
Gone is the imagination,
The mystery and magic,
Replaced by the mush
Of programmed minds
As I ponder and brood
My blank eyes to the screen
I take a sip
from my emptying cup.
The liquid drains
And my thoughts, too
Until I forget all
But colored lights and nothings.

open up
By: kari smith
open up your heart too all
let in the light
feel the pain
but never look back
keep going
keep living
those who have souls feel
those who don't
need to feel the light
because all they feel is the pain

Just something I wrote a while back. :3 The Ghosts of Auschwitz
The buildings gray and solemn stand
upon the fields of blood soaked lands,
Where the living once walked and
the dead turned to ashy sand.
Eternal blackness colors the sky,
where the ash of so many lie.
Where before the sun once shone,
now only lingering cries of terror groan
Before the war the land was lush, green fields and pure,
but now hatred and death is all that lurks,
even though the dead are long since passed
Barbed wire holds their souls to this world,
where they haunt the buildings, figures uncurled.
Grey silhouettes lurking in shadow, dark eyes now blank and hollow.
They are the dead, the murdered, laying in graves too shallow
a testimony to deeds done and those sure to follow
The air there still reeks of death and Zyklon B
The gas used to kill the many
who laughed, loved and cried
who lived, worked and died
whose voices and screams can still be heard.
They are the ghosts of Auschwitz.

here's something I put in the arena it's called we are words of... We are words of mystery, We are words of hate, We are words of fate. Behind mask, Behind wall, We are hidden. Never touched, Never helped, We are all alone. Break the wall, Set us free, Let us run. Remove the mask, See our faces, Love us as we are. Touch us, Help us, Do not let us be alone. We are words of mystery, We are words of hate, We are words of fate.

Wrote this for a description for my avitar arena entry. So its based on this avi:  Cursed to a dove On her wedding day By a jealous rival Content to make her pay With the flock she flies On sorrow'd wings of white Yet human she becomes When the day turns night For the silver band Reflected part the spell Back upon the caster Now he pays as well.

Crystal Tear
A lone crystal tear
creeps away room my eye
And watches you leave
while watching me die.
Silently it rolls down
Over skin you used to touch
And burns it away
You used to love me so much.
A shadow slinks over
Like a dark black sea
The closer you get towards the light
The more your shadow covers me.
The tear hits the ground and shatters like glass
You turn around to see me. . .Only to look past

Wrote this sad poem while ago for LA so here:
Shattered
Shattered hearts, shattered glass,
One of them always seems to last,
Glass is fixed, good as new,
My shattered heart, found peices so few.
My wings are shattered, my heart is broken
Falling fast, barely awoken
With an impact, I hit the ground,
And still I never make a sound.
